There are some states that do not see the need to stop an addiction that has become rampant among its people especially the youth. The necessity of West Virginia drug testing is not seen as mandatory. There is no law that has been put in place to make it a must for the residents.

A drug is a substance that people take to cure a sickness or relieve pain and is usually prescribed by a practicing doctor, but there are other types of drugs that are mostly self prescribed that are not for relieving pain but for pleasure or ecstasy and this mostly affect the nervous system. The continuous use of this kind of drugs makes one an addict of that substance.

In most countries or states, it is common law or necessity or even a requirement that employers carry out a drug test to their employees especially before they are hired, so as to ensure they have staff who are capable of working well. This is not a new thing in the states. The tests are again done after some time of working the company.

People should not feel like their rights are being infringed on when the individuals are asked to take the test. It is like helping them take good care of their health and also helping them stay healthy. They become better employees with much better results in the company as they are always sober and able to work together and have a good relationship with their bosses. Having an addict as an employee can even be dangerous to the other workers as they are hard to work with.

Some companies feel that it is a waste of time and money as they will have to pay for the testing. But they do not realize that it is cheaper to pay for that than to deal with the addicts who are not only hard to deal with but the time they waste being in and out of hospitals for the many different ailment they usually have or going through hiring each and every other time they have to go for rehab.

Programs to educate and enlighten people in their workplaces are sometimes put in place by some caring employers. The individuals are made to understand the dangers of abusing drugs, the side effects not only on them but on their loved ones too.

Generally, testing for drugs is a good thing because, it even saves on the medical for most people because addicts sometimes have many problems like not eating well and this brings with It some sicknesses that are associated with malnutrition making them go to hospital and the treatments they are given are expensive as they sometimes have to be checked into a rehab to stop the addiction first because treatment without rehab is the same as no treatment at all.

So it should be made signed into law making mandatory for all people to be tested to improve the productivity of not only workplaces but the state in general because abusing drugs will reduce as no one who is an addict will be employed or allowed into any job opportunity by the government.
